Horoscopes 10/8

Aries (March 21-April 19): Everyone is flawed in some way. Accepting your own imperfections takes courage. You don't have to be fearless; you only have to be willing to endure the fearful feelings and stand by yourself.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): The way to amplify your attractive qualities is to feel good inside about who you are. A stellar shampoo is an easier route, but you won't be sorry for the effort you make to get right with yourself.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): Don't start a competition where there doesn't need to be one. Why put yourself in a position that requires you to do more just to prove a point? Besides, it will be a pain if you have to soothe the ego of a sore loser.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): You'll have many options, and you're in just the mood to make the most of them. You can clearly see what needs to happen next, and you'll do the thing that makes you feel healthy, robust and vital.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Progress is coming gradually these days - so gradually, in fact, that you may be too impatient to call it a win. Day-to-day forward movement will contribute more to your success than a sudden sweeping victory.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Superficial beauty is as much an illusion as superficial ugliness. You're after something deeper now, a kind of beauty that is unchanged by the passage of time.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): When it's time to call on a stranger for help, for instance a repairperson or other professional, you may encounter a certain amount of reluctance in yourself. Today this is an instinct to heed, not a fear to overcome.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): The situation you believe is causing you unhappiness is actually not the cause at all. The cause is something random, and the solution is exercise.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Beetles and roaches were born with hard shells on their backs, but the hardest parts of you are on the inside - and they're also the softest. Surrender to your human frailty, and you'll find the sense of connection you seek.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Refrain from comparison. Right now, you're likely to feel threatened by other people's assets, which in reality have nothing to do with your own success. Do your best, and ignore the rest.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): There's a quiet confidence that comes from giving back that cannot be duplicated through any other action. Selfless generosity orients you differently. You radiate outward instead of being self-conscious.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Forget about the mistakes of the past; you now have the chance to start new. You'll walk a little faster and speak a little louder today - two of the main reasons you get things done.

Today's birthday (Oct. 8): Overdoing things is counterproductive this month. You are lucky when you relax, do less and let things unfold, especially in matters of the heart. November brings news that you'll act on and eventually turn into a moneymaking opportunity. Sever a tie in January, and you'll make three more that better suit your life. Cancer and Virgo people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 24, 33, 31, 28 and 17.
